text size using ordy

Hi,

I'm labelling and recording coordinates on a drawing with ordy lisp using autocad 2010, but when i click on a point the coords are labelled very small, i've clicked on the text and changed the height in properties but when i do the next point it labels to the small size again.

When i change the text height how do i save it to how i want it to stay?

Shot in the dark here. Check the font's height in the Text Style dialog box. Is there a preset height indicated there? Not sure how your LISP routine actually derives the info it uses to set the text height.

If this lisp is from Asmi, then it uses the dimension function.

So go into Format - Dimension Style - Modify - then under the Text tab, you can put a size text that you want to see, but that leaves all the leader lines as they were. Or you could go to the Fit tab, and put in a Scale for Dimension Features - use overall scale of___, then all lines and text will be scaled by that factor.

Setting text height via the dimension function seems a bit unusual don't you think? Who am I to say. If it works don't knock it, right? Thanks eldon for that bit of information.

I suppose that if you are using the facilities of dimensioning (after all it is ordinate dimensioning), then it might seem logical to go there to set the text height.

Going in to format and modify the text tab was correct, it works a treat now thankyou Eldon.
